This one is mine. I made it from a vintage table cloth that has pink cross-stitch and lined it with a perfectly blue check. This button ....... I have been saving for a long time for something special and this is that something special.

And this one is........

YOURS!

Yup.... I'm doing a give away! I enjoyed my day so much that I'm spreading the joy! This one was made from a vintage quilt in my favorite colors...... it's a bit worn, but that's just how I like it and I hope you do too!

Here's the inside. I have a plain old blue pen in there for now but when you get it..... you'll get a GEN-U-INE Plumtickled Pen...... it has my logo on it and everything!

Just leave a comment below...... tell me what your lists are for. I make a list for just about everything...... housework, sewing, groceries, diet stuff, vacation stuff ........ I could go on and on!

I'll leave this open until Saturday morning and I'll announce a winner!

I've been encountering panicked Etsians wanting to get in on the Closing Sale....... so I'm staying open for a bit longer. I still have a little too much fabric on my shelves so I'd like to linger a little longer!

This discount includes already marked down fabrics at $5-$6.50 so send those convo's now and I'll get you all set up. This also includes Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry and more! All the patterns too!

Thanks so much for everyone's support but........ I'm tired, stressed and the mother of four children which include two teenagers, a three year old and an almost 8 week old baby. I want to enjoy these months without worry and I'm hoping this will help!

See what I got last week? Yup, it's mine..... all mine and I'm in love with my new blue dress! This dress was made by a very talented & very sweet lady gal in Texas who just happens to have a shop on Etsy named Parsimony.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the obvious time spent sewing this dress......... from the button loops to the hem.......... it's something you don't see that often .... especially at this price! I want these next:

She and I convo'd back a forth a bit and man, do I wish she lived closer....... I have a feeling she and I would be fast friends! I forgot to mention that she has a home accessories shop too........ I want pillows just like this for my home:

It's called the Sweetie Pillow......... I can totally see why! This is how I want my whole house to look like..... comfy, sweet and ruffly!

I don't usually post about finds on Etsy as you all regular readers can vouch........ I just couldn't help myself with this great shop! It actually makes me want to NOT eat those cookies in my kitchen and also decorate my house like I used to.

There's been lots and lots of blessings going on around here with all but one of us sick with a stupid cold. Yes, even the almost six week old is coughing..... it's enough to break one's heart!

I thought I would just stop by really, really quick to say a few little things. I did this the other day and my internet went out............ they can put a man on the moon!

1. I'm offering all of my Plumtickled readers a 10% discount on all orders over $50.00.............. until I close my fabric shop later this month. You must convo me to tell me you are a reader and I'll make you a special listing or refund the discount after you pay. I've added more fabrics to the shop and have marked down more to $5.00-$6.50 per yard....... so go take a lookie see and send a convo!

2. I've added new dresses to my shop and am loving them! I call them Skirt Shirts as they can be worn as either a skirt or a shirt.......... do you get it? I've had fun making scrappy flower pins for them too........

3. Now that I have a child with reflux......... I totally understand the absolute need of a burp cloth! Thank the Lord I made several of these before Avonlea was born. I'll be making a quick little tutorial on burp cloths and will post it this afternoon or Sunday. They only take a few mintutes to make and make a great gift for any new Mom!

4. I will be working in my Heck Hole of a studio today. There truly isn't much more to expand on this issue other than........... I hope to make it out without a new disease, a broken bone or being drug off by some wild animal that has probably made itself a new home within those four walls. I'll keep you posted. Any advice on getting started?

5. The above task.......... leaves me needing a very large & very cold Dr. Pepper!

6. My sister Debi turned 29 Tuesday! (She's been 29 for quite a few years now...... I've lost count).

So Deb.......... these are for you! I'm glad you're my sister and my BFF! Your gift is still on it's slow, slow way but will be worth it! I promise!

Chocolate Cake, Dean and Mark Brunell....... wash it all down with this baby:

Could you imagine the bloat after drinking this one?

That's about it for now! I've got sooooo much more to tell ya and show ya! I'll get to it soon. I have a very special wedding this weekend and my sister Jerri Lynn is down from New York so I'm gonna be a busy gal this weekend! I love times like these!
